Charging the Segway
Experiment 1
Rode the segway around last night until the battery was completely dead. Plugged into the Kill a Watt meter and measured watts, amps and total KWh used.

.58 KWhours to fully charge a segway .. not bad at all. We pay about 25 cents a kilowatt hour so
that's about 12 cents to recharge the segway.
Experiment 2
Rode the segway until it dropped 1 bar (out of 5) then took it back home for a recharge. It charged for
50 minutes at 110 watts, 0.94amps
